Not sure if big hands means-- ... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Are his hands disproportionate somehow? They're like this on all his skins?

Yo Shénzhì!

Most skins are applied to the characters existing rig. So, we needed to keep his hands large so they would match the weighting/proportions of his existing rig. If we didn't match the models and made his hands smaller they wouldn't animate properly.

We can sometimes get away with making pizza feet smaller since feet movement is mostly up and down, but in general we try and keep character proportions as consistent as possible on all skins.

Have you thought about having him wear those paper claws people like to make to replace the huge hands and stay with the Academy/school image?

Remodels arn't easy things, I remember trying to remodel Akali, All i did was adjust a few polygons on her hair and she turned into a nightmare spider of stretched polygons because I couldn't figure out how to repaint the weight back onto the skeleton correctly.

Do you think you guys could add glasses to this skin so we can truly live the dream of being Harry Potter and shout EXPECTO PATRONUM when we use his ult?

xD Yeah, I think it's because his classic skin has those weird things on his fingers and they don't want to have to make his hands smaller, so they just recolor them, maybe?

I'll still get the skin, probably. I love Vlad.
